1873. Cheeseburger Springrolls

This is a fun new way to have a side of fried goods on the dining table that everyone will love. The spring roll is stuffed with classic cheeseburger flavors: minced meat, onion, pickles, and cheese. 

The sauce further elevates the treat, combining the classic flavors of ketchup, mayonnaise, mustard, and relish.

Ingredients

500g minced beef 

1 small onion

1/2 tsp salt

1/2 tsp black pepper

1 1/2 cups strong cheddar cheese, grated

2 Tbsp finely chopped cucumber pickles

12 spring roll wrappers

Oil for deep frying

Special sauce:

6 Tbsp mayonnaise

6 Tbsp ketchup

1 Tbsp mustard

2 Tbsp relish

Method:

Heat a large frying pan over a medium-high heat. Add the minced beef, onion, salt and pepper and saute for 6-7 minutes, stirring regularly to break up any chunks, until the beef is browned, and the onion is soft. Turn off the heat and allow to cool for 20-30 minutes. 

While the beef is cooling, make up the special sauce by mixing all of the sauce ingredients together in a small bowl. Put to one side.

Once the beef mixture has cooled, stir in the grated cheese and chopped pickles.

Heat the frying oil in a heavy-based pan while you make up the spring rolls. 

Take a spring roll wrapper and place on the work surface with a corner pointing towards you (cover the rest of the wrappers with a damp clean tea towel to stop them from drying out).

Place a heaped tablespoon of the cooled beef mixture near the bottom corner of the spring roll wrapper, roll up the spring roll, tucking the outer edges in just before you finish rolling – so you have a fat cigar-shaped spring roll. Seal the edges using a bit of water on your fingers.

Place the filled spring roll on a plate or baking tray, then repeat with the remaining spring rolls.

When the spring rolls are complete, and your oil is hot, carefully add six spring rolls to the pan, one at a time. You will need to work in two batches to prevent overcrowding the pan.

Cook the spring rolls for 3-4 minutes, turning often until golden brown, then place on a plate lined with kitchen roll, to soak up excess oil. Then repeat with the remaining spring rolls.

Once all of the spring rolls are cooked, serve with the special sauce.
